Nanoliter
A nanoliter (nL) is a unit of volume equal to one billionth of a liter (10^-9 liters).
History/Origin
The nanoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific and industrial measurements, particularly in fields like biology and chemistry, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
Minim (Uk)
A minim is a traditional unit of volume used in the UK, equivalent to one-eighth of a fluid dram or approximately 0.0616 milliliters.
History/Origin
The minim originated in the apothecaries' system of measurement, dating back to the 19th century, primarily used for measuring small quantities of liquids in pharmacy and medicine.
Current Use
Today, the minim is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or specialized contexts; modern measurements favor metric units, but it may still appear in historical references or vintage recipes.
